I'd have it when they are too young to be interested in sex
then they wouldn't spend the whole lesson sniggering and might learn something.

And then start telling every woman they see that 'You have a vagina'

wel, yes I know it breaks social conventions.
but they could be taught not to. My son picked up all sorts when he was just learning to speak from his grandmother, we got him to the point that just because he knows a word he doesn't have to use it, so it is possible.

If the worst thing you have to worry about is a small child saying a word like "vagina"
then you've got it pretty easy I reckon.

Also, you never responded to my last point about driving.

If they're listening to their grandmothers (or Monty)
they'll be more likely to use words like 'darky'.

My gran used to call us 'mucky arabs' when we had dirt on our faces. I hadn't realised it had stuck until I caught myself saying it to my dog when he came in covered in muck.

Oops.

Exactly, I think year 6 is a good time for this
I know a girl who lost her virginity in year 7, and I find that pretty fucked up, tbh.

Year 6 is 11 isn't it?
a bit late I reckon, maybe a year or 2 younger to be on the safe side.

Yes

I think the benchmark is when they start hitting puberty
so they know what to expect. A lot of girls are starting their periods these days at 10 or 11. I've had to sit in on a classroom discussion about girls of that age leaving towels on the floor of the school loos, because they weren't really sure what else to do with them.
That was an awkward afternoon.
